I try to make an new homepage with all my Metallica stuff.
I start to learn Joomla.
I search a good template for my site. I try it on my own, but i donīt know how to start that. :crazy:
Maybe here is somebody who can create such an Template for Joomla??!!!

The best thing I can recommend is to download a template that is as close to what you want that you can find. Not only close in terms of layout, colors, but also positioning of the modules options. Then from there, make a copy of it and begin to customize it from there.

That is what I do, unless I know for sure that the design that my customer wants to have is easy enough to make a template from scratch for.

Well the best place to start is understanding how the templates work to display the information you want. In order for your modules (which you set in the admin area) to be displayed you need to not only enable them but also have a placement spot designated on the template file.

Most templates are loaded up with PHP If statements. If you can follow that logic you will most likely be all set. Yes, some PHP scripting knowledge is needed, but it is not tough.

In there you can see how the page width of the main body content changes from page to page (ie some pages have a left column that shows, some pages have a right column that shows and some pages are a full width).
